Laba Street Art Festival 2012

This years Laba Street art Festival was under the theme LIBERATION.ARTS.PARTICIPATION. Quite an open one with a driven purpose to streamline the basic role of arts in general. A one day event on the arts calender has grown in stature over the years and has propelled many to heights anew. The strength of an artist lies in how much criticism they can take and still remain in the game undeterred. A sense of identity and self worth is regenerated in just hours of showcasing works. Lessons are learn t as response to new creations either generate raving reviews or nothing at all.     

Yours truly had something new to sample on the day and with renewed sense of liberation and participation, as per the theme I could not wait to see the reaction from the people in their thousands.

I was honored to be on the organizing committee for the second year running. I do take much pleasure in such responsibility for in there lies a chance to grow and become aware of the impact of artists to the community. This year was as exciting as ever especially with the Kampala Capital Authority on board. This gave us a chance to get the festival started a few days before the actual date. Artists were mobilized to paint dust bins  to raise awareness about cleanliness. This activity was driven to highlight the location of the bins which were all provided by the Authority. check out the int

It is high time for the festival to branch out into the community to bring alive the people an enhance creativity through inspiring innovations. This year's edition has certainly proved that a step forward into that direction is crucial and only time will tell.
